Celebrating Girls in Information and Communication Technology Day | U.S. Department of State Blog

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

As a woman who didn’t have this kind of support growing up to participate more strongly in the information and communications field, I encourage everyone to not only celebrate and support girls for Information and Communication Technology Day, but also to encourage girls to not be afraid of STEM subjects and go for it if STEM subjects are what they enjoy most. Girl power!

Thanks to @maxwellhoffmann on Twitter for this gem…this is great information! I know HTML, but never quite got the hang of XML or XHTML, which I know is a big part of HTML5. This seems to be a great primer for this information. Thanks, Maxwell!

Thanks to Scott Newcomb (@SNewco on Twitter) for this…it applies not only to m-learning, but learning in general.

Instructional designers and other e-/m-learning specialist should watch this!
